'With quotes from women woven throughout the book, insights are offered into the fear, loss, conflict, and hope experienced by women living in refuges, as well as the roles that refuges and refuge support workers play in women's journey through and beyond domestic violence. This is a useful book for anyone wishing to better understand the impact of domestic violence.'

- Australian Social Work

'This book provides a start reminder of the courage and strength of women who survive in abusive relationships and those who leave. This book combines theoretical perspectives with actual feedback from women and workers in a way that is accessible, informative and constructive. Essential reading for anyone involved in this field, whether it be direct service provision, referrals, service commissioning and funding or any other variation.'
